Hurricane
Chew Lips Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want something more than this
Don't you have a place you're going
I want something more than this
Two more hours and the journeys done
Concrete station where the lovers come
City of the romance and the opium
Down by the river where does it go
Never stops moving, never breaks the flow
Run into the ocean of the dreams you keep
Down to the ocean where you dive in deep
This is no time for making their way
Like a game of truth or dare
Sooner or later I'll get you undressed and see all of the scars you bear
(don't stop)
I will travel ten thousand miles
(don't stop)
Like a burning forest fire
(don't stop)
There is nothing that can keep me away
(don't stop)
'Cause I'm your hurricane
Don't you want a little something
I want something more than this
Don't you have a place you're going
I want something more than this
I'm not sorry baby I'm not scared
I keep on coming back from everywhere
Back into the city and the streets I know
I see you coming closer and I know I'm home
This is no time for making their way
Like a game of truth or dare
Sooner or later I'll get you undressed and see all of the scars you bear
(don't stop)
I will travel ten thousand miles
(don't stop)
Like a burning forest fire
(don't stop)
There is nothing that can keep me away
(don't stop)
'Cause I'm your hurricane
Don't you want a little something
I want something more than this
Don't you have a place you're going
I want something more than this
(don't stop)
I will travel ten thousand miles
(don't stop)
Like a burning forest fire
(don't stop)
There is nothing that can keep me away
(don't stop)
'Cause I'm your hurricane
I will travel ten thousand miles
(don't stop)
Like a burning forest fire
(don't stop)
There is nothing that can keep me away
(don't stop)
'Cause I'm your hurricane
The song "Hurricane" by Chew Lips speaks about the desire for something more than what is offered in the present situation. The opening lines suggest that the singer wants to experience something more fulfilling than what they have. They want to know if the person they're talking to has a more exciting plan for the future. The lyrics create an image of the city where the journey ends. The city is described as a place of romance, opium, and treasure. The singer sees the city as a place of happiness and peace. The river in the city seems to flow non-stop towards the ocean, which is described as the place to dive in and explore the dreams that one keeps.
As the song progresses, the singer admits that they are willing to go to any extent to see the one they love. They use the metaphor of a hurricane to represent themselves as unstoppable in the pursuit of love. The person they love is also described as marked by scars, and the singer wants to undress them and see all the wounds to let them know that it's okay to be vulnerable.
Overall, "Hurricane" is a song of passion and desire. The lyrics convey the longing for adventure and love, and the willingness to do whatever it takes to get there.
